Description

This is the second object I got this past week with my 5 days of clear skies.  This is an interesting galaxy.  It is realistically just on the edge of possible with my Vixen.  I was able to get 277x300" subs so just over 23 hours.  I like the details I got on the arms, especially considering I really need more focal length to help with this image.

My NYX-101 performed well in spite of the moon trying to mess up all of my guiding.  I had to go to 2sec exposures to get any kind of reasonable guiding.  It all worked out.  I did not have to reject too many subs.  I will have to readdress this galaxy when I get my C14 Edge back up on my AP mount for imaging.
